Abstract: A flying platform (10), propelled by at least one ducted fan (11) causing a vertically downwardly directed airstream in and through a cylindrical duct (12). A vane system in the duct (12) has two mutually perpendicular pairs (31-34) of diametrically opposite first vanes, each extending in from the duct rim toward the center of the duct. Each pair of first vanes provides a pair of generally vertical walls parallel to a diametral line across the duct, and they define duct passages between the pairs of vanes and define quadrants between adjacent pairs. Each first vane has an upper, fixed, rigid portion and a variable camber flap (45, 46) depending therefrom. A first servomotor with linkages vary the camber of each pair of flaps (45, 46), so that the camber of the flaps (45, 46) of each pair is at all times the same amount but in opposite directions. Preferably, there are also four second vanes (41-44), one bisecting each quadrant, and a symmetric pair of spoilers (75-82) is mounted on each second vane (41-44). Each pair of spoilers (75-82) is independently movable, as a pair continuously between a position substantially blocking airflow through the outer portion of said quadrant and a position permitting substantially full airflow therethrough. A second servomotor with linkages symmetrically varies the position of its spoilers (75-82). There may be a radio receiver responsive to remote control signals for actuating each servomotor and its linkages.
